In the {{For}}, add "Gay pride flag redirects here. For the flag for gay men, see Gay men's flags". Skemous (talk) 17:11, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Done. Thanks for your contributions! Myrealnamm-alt (talk) 17:59, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Layout issue
editThere's something with with the layout of this page that I can't figure out. The thumbnail of the progress flag is under the "Notable flag creations" section header, which doesn't seem like the right place to put it. However, in the source, it is just above the paragraph about Daniel Quasar, which seems like the correct place it should be. Why is it appearing in the wrong place?

Change "Rainbow Flag" To just LGBT Flag. Rainbows have 7 colors, not 6 colors. It is simply incorrect to call it a rainbow flag. 174.119.49.127 (talk) 02:34, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Use “rainbow” is incorrect
editA true rainbow spectrum has seven (7) colors: Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet. The Pride flag has only six.
Suggest removal of the term “rainbow” throughout. 47.134.194.101 (talk) 14:17, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
Not done - per WP:COMMONNAME, the flag is called the rainbow flag around the world. Raladic (talk) 14:25, 12 June 2024 (UTC)- This is wrong on two levels. A "rainbow" is a smooth gradient of colors. Look at a real rainbow in the sky - it has no bands. Secondly, "indigo" isn't a color, and was mostly invented by Newton because he was obsessed with the number 7.

Hello, can someone please remove the unnecessary police presence under the History section? There’s an arbitrary photo of a cop with a pride flag on cheek, with no particular reference to anything. That photo could be replaced with something more appropriate, such as a photo of Gilbert carrying the original flag, or a pride flag being hung outside of a queer bar or club.
Police have historically oppressed queer, gay, and trans people. Police represent and uphold bigotry, incarcerate queer people, and still kill queer people in places where homosexuality is illegal. Police do not deserve to be on this page, unless under a section about police oppression.
Thank you so much. Happy Pride. 2601:602:9700:A30:253E:6BF3:70B8:48A5 (talk) 05:04, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
